all i can say is just keep driving it it has good days bad days but overall it dose work in deed. you want the good mpg dont worry about clicking shutter just drive it if you get it on a good day its a butt kicken 4 banger.

Again, "adaptive learning" usually doesn't mean learning the driver's habits, except for some high end cars like BMWs and Cadillacs. It means learning the transmission shift and clutch thresholds, and the DCT in the Focus DEFINITELY does this:

"NOTE: PLEASE ADVISE THE CUSTOMER THAT THIS VEHICLE IS EQUIPPED WITH AN ADAPTIVE TRANSMISSION SHIFT STRATEGY WHICH ALLOWS THE VEHICLE'S COMPUTER TO LEARN THE TRANSMISSION'S UNIQUE PARAMETERS AND IMPROVE SHIFT QUALITY"

Just got my car back from the dealer. I brought it back for shudder at low speed after getting my update three weeks ago. When i had the update done three weeks ago it was a nightmare the car shifted to soon also. Dealer road tested my car after i left it there and confirmed the shudder. They called Ford and ford told them to do the adaptive learning process . I couldnt believe they had to do it now because they did the update three weeks before and i am sure the ADP should have been done a the time of the 12B37 update. Ford also advised them to change the clutch if i had any more problems with it.
When i drove home the car drove better but it was only down the road . I will keep you posted.
